Taking Time to Get Away Together

There’s something magical about the bond between women—a connection that goes beyond words, one that offers strength, understanding, and endless encouragement. In the busyness of life, it’s easy to let schedules and responsibilities take priority, but carving out time to nurture female friendships is a gift worth giving.

This weekend I attended the 6th annual Sisters Unplugged retreat hosted by my good friend, KJ. She plans this weekend for busy women to gather, unplug from their world (for 48 hours), eat good food, and get creative. We meditate, practice breathing techniques, and journal. And, we always leave better than we came. This retreat always adds value to our lives.

Getting away with your closest girlfriends is valuable—whether for a weekend retreat, a day trip, or even just an afternoon—it adds benefits that go far beyond the surface. It’s a chance to disconnect from the daily grind and reconnect with the women who remind you of who you are. These moments of shared laughter, deep conversations, and pure fun create memories that nourish your soul.

Female friendships provide a safe space where you can be your authentic self. With your friends, you don’t have to perform or impress—they see you, love you, and celebrate you just as you are. Spending time together

strengthens these bonds and reminds you of the power of having a support system that uplifts and empowers you.

Getting away also creates room for reflection and renewal. Sharing new experiences with your friends—whether it’s exploring a new city, hiking in nature, or simply enjoying a cozy evening of conversation—allows you to recharge in ways that only good company can. These getaways help you step back, gain perspective, and return to your everyday life with renewed energy and inspiration.

So, prioritize those friendships. Make the time to escape the routine, even briefly, and invest in the women who enrich your life. Female friendship is a powerful force, and spending time together is one of the best ways to honor and celebrate it. Because when women come together, magic happens.
